http://mmajunkie.comMariusz Pudzianowski’s controversial majority-decision win over James Thompson in this past weekend’s KSW 17 co-headliner has been changed to a no-contest.

Company officials today cited a judge’s error for the change.

Following the announcement of Pudzianowski’s contentious win in his home country of Poland, an irate Thompson stole the mic from the ring announcer and admonished the organization.

“Give Mariusz a big round of applause,” Thompson said after the fight. “What a [expletive] joke. I thought KSW was really trying to be serious. If you can watch that (fight) back and call it serious, then you’re [expletive].”

Pudzianowski (3-2), a five-time World’s Strongest Man, spent much of the early fight on his back but was announced the winner of the rematch. Thompson (16-14) won their first meeting via submission at a KSW event in May.

In the second meeting, Pudzianowski clearly dropped the opening round after Thompson outstruck and outgrappled him. In the second, Pudzianowski battled back to land a few shots of his own, and most expected the two-round fight to head to an overtime frame.

Since it didn’t and the third round never took place, the fight was declared a no-contest.

“Due to the fact that the overtime round did not happen, KSW owners along with KSW officials have decided to erase this fight from fighters’ records and declare the sixth bout at KSW 17 a no-contest,” KSW officials stated.
